Reminder: Paris Hilton is a porn star
Just so you don’t forget, Paris Hilton agreed to the release of and profits from a video of her having sex.  Actual, non-simulated sex.  And this isn’t for “art,” like the movie Seven Songs or The Brown Bunny.  While making a sex tape for your own personal whatever does not make you a porn star or even necessarily a slut, going along with its release to the general public...

Is the sketch played out as a meme?  Yes.  But much like watching it at high-speed, this makes it new again. Also, this reminds me of the time I was in line outside the UCB and some girls were talking about how they were listening to “Lightning Crashes,” reading the lyrics, and crying.

Latest Polls on FiveThirtyEight.com Has McCain And... →
The bump for McCain earlier this week was actually mostly due to a change in polling demographics.  For some reason, three major pollers all of the sudden decided to poll equal Dems and GOP despite the fact that there’s more registered Dems.  No idea why.  So no need to panic. iamachilles: Electoral College: McCain 268.1; Obama 269.9. Popular Vote: McCain 49.6%; Obama 48.8%. McCain is...
